- Archive patch landed.
- Activity Manager is awaiting a new patch from Emre.

Thunderbird 3
- time to truly clamp down and ship sooner rather than later, even at the cost of substantial feature cuts
- we need to get everything tracked in bugzilla
- we will now have component drivers so that people actually own keeping subsets of bugs well-triaged
- dmose to propose component assignments tuesday
- things to file & triage:
- component drivers: blocking+ / blocking? bugs
- davida: development roadmap
- clarkbw: UX bugs from last weeks meeting
- dmose: message reader bugs, tb3needs bugs
- new triage rules
- to stay on blocking+ list, a bug must be owned by someone, even if that’s (temporarily) the component driver
- for each triaged bug on the blocking list: owner, target milestone, priority (P1 – P3; will be used to move bugs if milestone added)
- criteria for blocking+: if this were the last blocker, we would make all of our users wait even longer for the existing changes in order to get the fix for this one?
- to think about:
- when do we branch? (i suspect immediately after b2)
- when do we lock down the branch for only blocking+ and approved+ (i suspect a couple of weeks after b2)
- how do we want to handle existing wanted+ bugs? (throw them off the list?)
- when should we target having the first round of filing / triage done? (1 week from Tuesday?)
- There will be a TB 3 beta 3 (milestone created in bugzilla)

Standard8
Non-goal activities:
- Reviews
- bug 126491 Drop “Card for:” on address book contact preview panes (part of the Card -> Contact rename).
Two week goals (start of week 2):
- Finish driving in Password Manager
- LANDED!
- Fixed regressions/problems:
- bug 437635 (Multiple Master passwords again), bug 473973 (Calendar gdata issue), bug 474277 Incorrect use of real versus original usernames (caused at least some imap problems).
- Outstanding regressions/problems:
- bug 473715 LDAP fails in autocomplete
- bug 474115 Unknown, reporter is unclear (possible failure points are fixed afaict)
- Implement send in background
- Currently fixing/reworking code/interfaces to provide an improved server/listener type format so that we can have one service where everything “send later” related happens, and decent feedback for the UI e.g. activity manager.
- Looking to get at least a turned-off by default version into the code this week.
- bug 473458 Clean up nsIMsgWindow arguments on some functions so that we don’t need a msgWindow for the send later code.
- bug 473740 Tidied up the service, dropped the intermediate nsIMessenger functions.
- Investigate Weave pop-tart system
- Started to look at, may be difficult for passwords, but could easily do for prompts. Probably worth integrating with the interactive status bar.
- Try and get initial numbers for Ts to see if we can enable jemalloc.
